Given below are two figures of Daniell cell (X) and (Y). Study the figures and mark the incorrect statement from the following.
\[\begin{array}{l} (X)\\ \text { (F) } \end{array}\]
\[\begin{array}{l} (X)\\ \text { (F) } \end{array}\]
- In fig (X), electrons flow from Zn rod to Cu rod hence current flows from Cu to Zn (Eext < 1.1 V).
- In fig (Y), electrons flow from Cu to Zn and current flows from Zn to Cu (Eext > 1.1 V).
- In fig (X), Zn dissolves at anode and Cu deposits at cathode.
- In fig (Y), Zn is deposited at Cu and Cu is deposited at Zn.
Answer
(D) In fig ( Y ), Zn is deposited at Cu and Cu is deposited at Zn.
